Chapter 66 - Fan Rivalry

Naturally, this made the fans of other actresses unhappy.

A portion of the viewership for <> came from Yoo Mokah's fanbase.

During Im Giseok's clapping back campaign, fans of other actresses quietly turned their attention to <>.

After one episode—

This show… is pretty good!

No, it's really good!

It's got potential!!

Watch out!

Let's knock <> off its pedestal!

Choi Yeonhyeop watched <> mainly to spite Yoo Mokah's fans.

She had already made up her mind that no matter how good or bad the show was, she would give it a high rating and recommend it to everyone around her.

Choi Yeonhyeop was aware that just by looking at how poorly ReelRise promoted <>, its quality was likely not on par with <>.

The director of <> is well-known for romance dramas, and the chemistry between Yoo Mokah and the male lead is spot on.

For the past few days, all the trending searches have been filled with sweet clips from the show.

But Choi Yeonhyeop was not happy.

Yoo Mokah had indeed been doing well over the past two years, and her light-hearted romance dramas had won over many viewers.

However, Choi Yeonhyeop was a hardcore fan of Cheon Seonghyeon, which made it hard for her to like Yoo Mokah.

Unlike Yoo Mokah, who had the sweet girl-next-door vibe, Cheon Seonghyeon was the classic stunning beauty.

For some reason, though, audiences hadn't been as fond of actresses like Cheon Seonghyeon in recent years.

Instead, they preferred the more modest, refined look that Yoo Mokah had.

What annoyed Choi Yeonhyeop the most was how Yoo Mokah's fans always put down Cheon Seonghyeon.

When Yoo Mokah first debuted, she played the second female lead in one of Cheon Seonghyeon's dramas.

In that drama, Cheon Seonghyeon's character was not particularly strong, and Choi Yeonhyeop remembered clearly how, after Yoo Mokah's character appeared, all of the people on Chirp were filled with posts that compared Yoo Mokah to Cheon Seonghyeon in a bad light.

In some ways, Yoo Mokah had climbed up by stepping on Cheon Seonhyeon.

Cheon Seonghyeon's agency wasn't as strong as Yoo Mokah's, and while she was breathtakingly beautiful, she had a very laid-back personality.

At least, in Choi Yeonhyeop's memory, Cheon Seonghyeon always managed to outshine other actresses on the red carpet, yet she never released any publicity stunts claiming she was the best.

By comparison, Yoo Mokah was a master of self-promotion.

Choi Yeonhyeop understood that stars need to market themselves.

As a fan, she sometimes felt frustrated with Cheon Seonghyeon for not doing enough.

However, she believed Yoo Mokah went too far with her marketing.

She tried to maintain the image of a pure, girl-next-door type, but her actions didn't match that image at all.

The first episode of <> did pretty well, and Yoo Mokah's fans were acting like they could easily beat both Cheon Seonghyeon and Seo Iran, as if Yoo Mokah had already surpassed them in status.
